Thanks to all for the many responses to my call for help. I now have the Web Server, Telnet Server, and the SSH Server included in the Firewall setting. The Apache web server is running ok but the remote location still cannot connect with ssh or telnet. There is a file somewhere where I have to enable the linux box to receive ssh and telnet and I can not find it.
I have a local net consisting of the new Suse 10 box, a Windows XP box and the old SuSe 8.2 machine that I am replacing. They get to DSL by way of a combination modem-router (2Wire 1701HG Gateway). The purpose of this exercise is to enable my grandson, from his remote location, to set up the files for his website that will use my Apache server.
Now I need help finding where I can enable SSH and Telnet.
As Brad Bourn pointed out 3 days ago, you will have to enable port-forwarding on the NAT boxes (routers) to allow remote hosts to connect to your services. Did you try that? \Steve
